Day 2 gamble free and I’m feeling pretty positive about my road to recovery although I know the toughest time will be when I get paid again. The dark thoughts that had consumed me have subsided for now and hopefully it stays that way!

Just got today = I will not gamble!

8 days gamble free for me! Again I know it’s going to be tough when I get paid but I’m feeling more positive and like ‚I can do this‘! Currently taking each day as it comes and feeling blessed that I have my family for support.

Just for today I will not gamble

Hi Pilotdad
I’m actually feeling really positive! I feel like this time I can actually kick the habit! Had a weird dream about gambling last night though which I think may have been due to me not gambling and maybe my brains way of trying to get me back into it? But that’s not going to happen! I’m determined this time. I think to actually have a shot at beating my demons I need to be more aware of my triggers. Its a hard process but I’m just taking each day as it comes and trying not to over think it. How are you finding your recovery?

In my personal opinion a good support network is essential on the road to recovery. You need people fighting in your corner with you.. To pick you up when you fall and celebrate your successes with you. Good luck with telling your parents! You’ll feel better once it’s all out in the open and you can longer hide behind your addiction.
